How Italy could line up against Moldova

Sports Mole looks at how Italy could line up for Wednesday's international friendly with Moldova in Florence.

Italy take on Moldova in an international friendly at the Stadio Artemio Franchi in Florence on Wednesday evening.

The Azzurri beat Netherlands 1-0 in their most recent match through a Nicolo Barella header to make it 12 wins in 13 matches.

Roberto Mancini's men have a couple of big Nations League fixtures to come over the next week, and they will be looking to keep their winning momentum going against Moldova.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how Italy could line up.



Possible ITAXI vs. MOL

Mancini has named an extended 34-man squad for the triple header of matches during the October international break.

However, the Juventus contingent of Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini may have to withdraw for the first of those games because of coronavirus protocols.

Three of the Napoli players who were selected for the last set of fixtures - Lorenzo Insigne, Alex Meret and Giovanni Di Lorenzo - are absent for the same reason.

Taking those withdrawals into account, Angelo Ogbonna, Manuel Lazzari and Domenico Berardi will all be hopeful of minutes after earning a rare call-up to the squad.

A number of changes are expected on the back of the win over the Netherlands, with Paris Saint-Germain duo Alessandro Florenzi and Marco Verratti in line for recalls.
